Li Yue took out a few volumes, "What is written on them is the story of the Red Mansion, and I have polished a lot from it."

Seeing that her husband was still looking at herself, Li Yue blocked in front of the bookshelf, "If there is anything missing, I will bring it to you."

Standing in place, the couple looked at each other for a long time, Zhang Yang pondered, "Is it cold to fall asleep at night recently?"

Li Yue's bright eyes were smiling, "It's not cool now."

Seeing that her husband was about to reach out for the scrolls on the bookshelf, Li Yue stepped forward to stop her, "If your husband wants something, you can tell me."

With a sigh, Zhang Yang walked out of this room, Li Yue's room used to be full of toys, but now the most is books, and the bookshelf full of books are her learning results.

What have daughters-in-law learned recently?

Some days I haven't done a question, and the books she has been reading recently have started to get mixed.

After two days of drying, the first batch of paper was made at home, and this exciting result could only be enjoyed by the husband and wife, and it could not be told to anyone else.

The most important thing is to live a stable life, and the practice of paper cannot be easily shown, even if it is done at home.

The days are not what they used to be, and now there will be guests at home from time to time, and it will not last long if you hide it for a while.

Li Yue handed over this matter to the two aunts, and in their spare time, the two aunts could make pulp and dry paper by themselves, and everyone lived next door, which could have been opened up to make a big yard.

Now we have to put the fence so high that even if other people walk into the house, they can't see the situation next door.

Where the paper came from doesn't need to be explained, and it can't be easily known to others.

Zhang Yang patiently explained: "We don't have the ability to take risks yet, and we don't have enough strength to protect ourselves."

Li Yue nodded heavily.

The couple arranged everything, and Zhang Yang also told the two aunts about the precautions, whether to stir the pulp with your hands when making paper, alkali has a certain corrosiveness, and it is not good for the skin if you touch it for a long time.

Half a month later, the family is still the same as usual, and the two aunts are already familiar with the way pulp is made.

These two aunts are like relatives to Li Yue, and the original grandmother passed away, leaving only two aunts.

The two aunts watched Li Yue grow up from childhood to adulthood, and now she has long regarded her as her own daughter.

The royal family affection is thin, if the daughter-in-law is asked to make a choice, she will not hesitate to choose the two aunts, they are the daughter-in-law's real relatives.

These days, a batch of paper is made first, and then it goes back to the village to make the assembly line for printing.

Li Yue hummed the minor tune that her husband had hummed, and was in a good mood to tease the little bear.

Zhang Yang struggled to play the cotton, and it was simply torturous to play the cotton by hand, and after a while, he gave up, drinking tea in the sun, and didn't want to do it anymore.

There was a knock on the door of the house, usually if it was Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, Li Tai or Li Yuan, father and son, grandfather and grandson, they all pushed the door directly when they came to the house, where was it so polite.

Even if Li Xiaogong didn't kick in, it would be good.

The knock on the door sounded again, this time in a much hurry, Zhang Yang said impatiently, "Which one?"

"Old man Wei Zheng."

Hearing the reply, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, Zhang Yang coughed for a while, hurriedly came to the door of the house, opened the door and saw that the person who came was wearing an official uniform, and he had also paid attention to it in the court before, and it was really Wei Zheng. ….

"You...... I've seen Mr. Wei." Zhang Yang hurriedly saluted.

"I know a little bit of etiquette, it seems that this time is still useful for reading books in the country."

"Sir, please come in." Li Yue also saluted slightly.

"The old man has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Wei Zheng saluted first.

"Come in, old gentleman."

Wei Zheng walked into the courtyard and glanced at the situation in the courtyard, "I heard that you Zhang Yang already have a lot of money, but you are still living such a poor life."

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "I have always been very poor, where did I get all the money, who is making rumors about me outside?"

Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly, "The old man heard something recently, so let's take a look

You."

Li Yue sat down again in the courtyard and continued to look at the books in his hand.

Zhang Yang explained: "Old man, I really don't have a lot of money, and what you heard is a rumor."

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess was holding something in her hand, standing on the eucalyptus with one end, pinching the top and turning around, she drew a very iconic circle, which made Wei Zheng stunned.

Li Yue turned the rivet on the thing slightly, and turned it around again, drawing a bigger circle.

Seeing that Wei Zheng became more and more curious.

"Actually, I am very poor in the next day, if I really have a lot of money, I will still live in this dilapidated yard?"

Retracting his gaze, Wei Zheng sighed, "The old man didn't come to you for this."

Zhang Yang took two steps back and forth, "Who made that rumor?"

Wei Zheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It's not important."

Zhang Yang gasped, "This matter is very important!"

Why is it so tiring to talk to this person, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "The old man has more important things to do with you."

"Sir, please speak."

"Gao Cheng was sent to the Hongwen Pavilion, and the old man also knew about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, you did have a mistake, Your Majesty remembered that you were young and only stripped of your official body, you have talent, you also have skills, and you are Zhang Gongjin's disciple, the old man thinks that even if you are profiting from it, you are also for the safety of Northern Xinjiang."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "The old gentleman is here to intercede?"

Wei Zheng straightened his expression, "You made a mistake, Your Majesty first didn't care about you, remembered that you had merit first, and then let you go, if you really want to blame, it's not strange that you were put indiscriminately."

"The old gentleman is right."

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty can only punish you lightly, and you don't admit your mistake and don't see Your Majesty again, how can you not be arrogant."

"So the old gentleman came to teach me a lesson."

"Tubo Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious and talented person, beware of the Tubo incident that you told Your Majesty at the beginning."

The late autumn wind blew, a little cold, Zhang Yang tightened his clothes.

Wei Zheng said again, "From the beginning to the present, you have done this matter single-handedly, what do you think? Who did you learn your talents from?"

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "The teacher below is a hermit who lives in Zhongnan Mountain, and now he has passed away."

"Hermit? The old man thinks that what a person can learn has nothing to do with who he learns, even if he worships a good teacher, he can't learn skills if he has a bad heart."

"Yes." Zhang Yang smiled suddenly, "Actually, I was stupid when I was a child, but whenever the teacher taught me, I learned very slowly, and I was a poor student among the teachers and students." ….

Looking at Wei Zheng's expression, Zhang Yang said again: "Smart people have smart people's learning methods, and stupid people also have stupid learning methods, even if you don't understand the meaning of the article, you have to memorize it first, because I'm stupid, I can't compare to others, so I have to fly stupid birds first."

"Stupid birds fly first?" Wei Zheng was puzzled.

"It's not hard to understand." After a pause, Zhang Yang recalled that he said: "My parents often say that I am stupid, and also tell me that diligence can make up for my clumsiness, when others are lying down, I want to sit, when others are sitting, I want to stand, when others are walking, I want to run, since my talent is poor and I can't keep up with my studies, my parents let me work harder than others in everything, and try not to fall too far behind."

Wei Zheng nodded after hearing this, "Your parents have good intentions."

"Let the old gentleman laugh."

"I think your parents also want you to be a pure person, down-to-earth is the best, don't forget to teach."

"I understand."

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is young now, and he is also playful, His Majesty asked him to compile the Chronicles, but he repeatedly ignored it, and I hope you don't delay His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the old man is going to impeach the King of Wei this time, so he came to warn you."

It turned out that he wanted to impeach King Wei for playing and abandoning the compilation of the Chronicles, and this old gentleman also came to teach me a lesson, didn't he?

"The old man has taken his leave."

"Old gentleman, walk slowly."

Walking out of this mansion, Wei Zheng's steps were much easier, and it was Zhang Yang who had a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Wei.

I'm afraid that Zhang Yang is also a stubborn person, which will damage the heart of His Royal Highness King Wei, and now it seems that this Zhang Yang is not useless, he is a pure person.

It's a good thing to have a mentor and helpful friends, Zhang Yang's words are not like an old man in the lake, if he hadn't had his own experience, he wouldn't have said this kind of thing, and there would be no such emotion in his words.

Compared with His Majesty's godson, Zhang Yang's parents are the great good.

Don't seek to become famous, don't rush for quick success, down-to-earth, but if you work harder than others and persevere, you will eventually have a good result, what a good opinion, and what a wise parent.

The day after Wei Zheng left, Li Shimin's autumn hunting activities ended hastily.

Li Tai feasted on mutton, "This time the autumn hunt was disturbed by Wei Zheng, an old horseman, and I don't know what he said to his father, my father lost his temper, and finally scattered his troops and horses and returned to Chang'an City."

While talking, Li Tai drank a mouthful of mutton soup, took two more bites of pickled radish, and chewed the crisp radish in his mouth, "Wei Zheng also impeached this king, saying that this king wasted his studies and had fun all day, why didn't he impeach the prince!"

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "Did he say anything else?"

"It's all from the guards around my father, where do you still have the heart to hunt at the moment." After swallowing a mouthful of soup, Li Tai spoke again: "It is said that this king has wasted his studies, is this king a waste of his studies? In the past few days, the king of Japan has slept for an hour or two every day, and he has been busy running his business, and where there is a shortage of goods and people, he has to come by himself."

"If we don't do well in those few businesses, how much less money will we make? This king has lived such a long and hard life, so he has relied on autumn hunting to earn some more money." Li Tai let out a sigh of relief from his stomach, "This is the most down-to-earth meal this king has eaten in the past few days." ….

This little fat man has really been busy these days, and he has been busy before and after.

"How much we've earned?" Li Tai took out a roll of accounts, "I was about to tell you about this, the five shops, from furniture to cake business, as well as braised pork and rice, spent a total of 2,000 yuan, and after calculating it, the profit earned was 3,000 yuan."

"Forget about the rest, that is, the profit of this furniture business is higher, and the cost is also low, some wood is neatly cleaned up, and the chairs are made, and they can be sold for dozens of yuan, and some people have to spend extra money to do good work, which is a good income."

After taking the account book, Zhang Yang looked carefully, "Can the furniture business make a thousand yuan? How much is that sold?"

Li Tai grinned and said, "This time, Niu Chuang has used the whole village, and he has to go to the official ceremony to preside over it, otherwise he will really not be busy."

Quickly put down the bowl, Li Tai came over: "Brother-in-law, you said that we should expand it and do more."

When you lose money, you have a surname Zhang, and when you make money, your brother-in-law shouts in a hurry, which is really unpopular.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Tai said again, "What other concerns?"

"Does His Royal Highness King Wei find it difficult to make this chair or something?"

"It's not difficult, you can do a few in a day."

"What we can do can be done by others, especially with this simple technique, there is no shortage of skilled carpenters in this world." Zhang Yang added some more tea.

"You have a point."

Li Tai nodded pertinently, "What we can do, others can do."

After taking another sip of tea, Li Tai pondered carefully, "If other people's prices are lower than ours, our business will not be good, even if we lower the price, we will not have an advantage, there is no shortage of craftsmen, even the carpenters in the market can make their own."

Zhang Yang quietly drank a sip of tea.

"This business is going to get worse and worse in the future." Li Tai came to a conclusion.

Now you can make a quick buck, just take the lead, and then you can only fight a price war, and in the end furniture will become a very common result, and the powerful will only want craftsmen with good craftsmanship.

Halfway through his words, Li Tai slapped the table

, "This Wei Zheng old man impeached this king again, this time he will keep an eye on it if he is impeached, it is not good to be entangled by this old guy, and General Cheng is not afraid of him."

"It's not impossible."

"Will the plan come out?" Li Tai came to be interested.

"Isn't it okay to pretend to be a good boy?"

"Outfit?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the compilation of the Chronicles, spends half a day watching it, during which it is enough to ask one or two, it is best to send some people to investigate the boundaries of Tubo and see the terrain of Tubo, I also have a way of drawing a map here, called contour lines......

After talking to this little fat man for half an hour, Zhang Yang impatiently took a sip of tea, "Does His Royal Highness King Wei understand?"

Li Tai held his forehead: "Some understand, this king will go back and try."

With that, he left.

"Husband, what is this?" Li Yue took out a drawing.

"Isn't this a drawing in my room?"

"Who knew you painted these behind my back every day." Li Yue raised his chin, "I don't know what you painted."

Pulling Li Yue to sit beside him, the couple leaned together, and Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "This thing is called a sextant, and the principle was proposed by Newton."

"Newton? Is he again?"

Li Yue is already very familiar with the name Newton, a guy surnamed Niu, who used to often mention this name when he listened to his husband's lectures, but in the words of his husband, this Newton is not surnamed Niu, he is a very eccentric person.

Zhang Wei
